All In Cookout to host top recruits

CLEMSON – The inaugural All In Cookout, Clemson’s answer to other events such as “Dawg Night” at Georgia and “Friday Night Lights” at Florida, will be held Friday evening on the Clemson campus.

The Clemson coaches will host several of the program’s top recruiting prospects in a family-style cookout in what they hope will become an annual event.

Several of the nation's top programs have hosted events like Dawg Night or Friday Night Lights as an extra incentive to get recruits back on campus. The Clemson coaches feel like they have had recruiting success with Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney's June camp, and have not felt the need for an extra weekend of recruiting. That has changed this year, as the coaching staff wanted to get several of their prospects back on campus one more time before fall practice starts.

Clemson has invited several of the top prospects that have already committed or are high on Clemson’s recruiting board.
